Description of Close Combat III:The Russian Front

It’s summer 1943 and you’re right in the middle of Germany’s Eastern Front offensive - code-named Operation Citadel. What’s at stake? Only the greatest tank battle in World War II history.

The Battle of Kursk in western Russia historically involved as many as 6,000 tanks, 4,000 aircraft, and 2 million fighting men. This time around, it all boils down to you.

The Close Combat III Trial Version puts you in charge of either the German or Russian forces in one pivotal battle of Kursk entitled Prelude to Citadel.

The maze of buildings scattered along an east/west stretch of paved roadway will be your playground. Shock Troops, Assault Engineers, T-34s, Tiger Tanks, Rocket launching half-tracks and 120mm mortars will be your toys. Looks like it’s time to find out just what it takes to lead men into battle, and survive.
